Triple-booting Nitrux, Windows, and other Linux distributions

Estimated reading: 2 minutes 57 views

Installing Nitrux alongside Windows and other Linux distributions follows the same process as dual-boot.

  1. Assuming Windows is already present, install the other Linux distribution before installing Nitrux.
  2. Disable Secure Boot using your device’s firmware.
  3. After disabling Secure Boot, do either of the following:
    • Boot the Nitrux ISO, launch the installer, select “Install alongside,” and click on an existing partition with sufficient space. Adjust the slider to determine how much to allocate for Nitrux.

As before, use the slider to allocate storage space to install Nitrux within Calamares. Image for reference.

    • Or use Windows or another Linux distribution to shrink an existing partition to create unallocated space. Then, launch the installer, select “Replace partition,” and click the unallocated space.

    • Alternatively, select “Manual partitioning” and follow our partition layout table.

Regardless of the selection, once the installation is complete, GRUB will display entries to boot into Nitrux, Windows (Windows Boot Manager), and other Linux distributions upon reboot.

Upon rebooting, GRUB will display an entry for the available OSes. Image for reference.
